How in essence is this different from what the Bolshies did to peasants and
workers who didn't agree with them? Weren't they guided by Superior Theory
and Logic (as well as having Dame History on the arm), something that the
backward, reactionary peasant class could only comprehend at gunpoint? Or
are certain types of political elitism *truly* in the interests of humanity
as a whole?

Actually, my impression is that the poor peasantry was rather in favor of 
what was happening to the kulaks. "They're getting what they deserve, the 
bastards!"
